More quotes by Julia Cameron

Julia Cameron
Art is a spiritual practice. We may not, and need not, do it perfectly.
Julia Cameron
Our modern ideas of 'functioning' through things are really quite inhuman. We have this idea that no matter what is going on we still have to color between the lines, act normal.
Julia Cameron

Julia Cameron
There is no such thing as being done with an artistic life. Frustrations and rewards exist at all levels on the path.
Julia Cameron

Julia Cameron
At root, a pearl is a 'disturbance' a beauty caused by something that isn't supposed to be there, about which something needs to be done. It is the interruption of equilibrium that creates beauty. Beauty is a response to provocation, to intrusion. ... The pearl's beauty is made as a result of insult.
Julia Cameron
It hurts like hell when the world won't invest in you. But it's excruciating, almost more than you can bear, when you don't believe and invest in yourself.
